just wondered. when i first started learning year and years ago it was in a manual but quit practicing how to drive. many years later when i started learning how to drive again it was in an automatic. so now i am half assed trying to teach myself how to drive with my right foot, so i can go back to driving a clutch.

anyone have any words of advice? lolol.

ETA: just to clarify.....I would use my left foot for the brake and use my right foot to press on the gas pedal. so now i am trying to work on just using my right foot for brake and gas, that way when i do get into a manual tranmissioned vehicle, i won't try to use my left foot for the brakes.

UPDATE!! well tonight (friday night) went better than expected. i mananged to stop a lot smoother than the night before, plus i got the clutch part and giving it some gas before totally letting it out. not perfectly and had plenty of screw ups, but it did go better. i will just have to keep at it.
